The source of the project consists of a Kickstart file to be used with a minorly patched version of Fedora's livecd-creator tool (the Kickstart file patches the version of these tools in the image it builds), a boot script to mount the music and /home partitions based on kernel boot paramaters, a script to install to USB drives, and a manual. There are no changes to Mixxx or any novel programs other than the USB install script. Other than the above mentioned components, it is all assembled from Fedora, RPM Fusion, and PlanetCCRMA packages.
The Mac App Store exception is irrelevant to this project.
